I have just received my copy which includes the change of ownership of my new bitch.

A litter produced by a bitch I bred is also in there but I am seeing abbreviations I have not seen before or forgotten what they stood for, is there a list somewhere stating what they mean?

C-EL = Elective Caesarian
C-EM = Emergency Caesarian

Are these the ones you mean?

Yes it was the C-EM, not spoken to her owner lately so don't know reason for C/Section, she whelped 6 naturally in her first litter but must have had a problem having the 5 in her second litter.

What does the "c" between sex and colour/pattern stand for?

> What does the "c" between sex and colour/pattern stand for?

c is short for the colour is black & tan, shaded red etc...

I thought that was too obvious so dismissed it.
